Abstract
- Contrast media are essential to the practice of MR imaging. An increasing variety of agents have been approved for clinical use, specific contrast agents can often be tailored to a specific clinical question. Compared with CT contrast media, MR imaging contrast is well tolerated with an excellent safety record and a low incidence of adverse events. In this article, we review the pharmacology, indications, and the common adverse events of the intravenous and oral MR contrast agents most commonly used in contemporary imaging practice, including gadolinium-based contrast, manganese and iron-based agents and the most common oral contrast agents.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
